Mon Tulfo-Raymart Santiago-Claudine Barretto brawl actual video. Judge for yourself

This is the actual video of the scuffle between Inquirer journalist Mon Tulfo and a group of people led by Raymart Santiago.

Mon Tulfo was armed locked, which gave Raymart Santiago the chance to punch him repeatedly in the face. It seems likely that the Santiagos did not know that it was Tulfo whom they were beating up.

You judge.

Cebu PACIFIC should be blamed for the Raymart Santiago-Mon Tulfo ruckus at airport

This incident involving former action star Raymart Santiago, dotting and protective husband of Claudine Barretto and crime columnist Ramon Tulfo of the Philippine Daily Inquirer would not have happened if Cebu Pacific did its job. I mean, come on. Cebu Pacific has always been remiss in its duties to its customers. Time and again, complaints, complaints, complaints! And Cebu Pacific has never improved its services.

For one, Cebu Pacific flights are always delayed. When I was travelling to General Santos City, and I had the unfortunate experience of getting a CebuPac aosflight, that flight was delayed by an hour and a half. Whoa.

Cabins of Cebu Pacific are perennially dirty, thanks to the airline's cleaning crews. And talk about rodeo riding in the air? Cebu Pacific airline tops the list.

There's already a pickup line for CebuPac. Are you an overshooter? Why? Because you're like Cebu Pacific, always overshooting the runway.

I would not be surprised if these kinds of incidents like what happened between Tulfo and the Santiagos happen between or among ordinary citizens. Irate Cebu Pac customers always complain yet the airline never learns from these complaints. Things never change in this airline. It's always delayed, sick, tired, lousy services.

And I would not be really shocked if I hear another incident to happen in the future. Really now, with our lousy airline companies and overburdened airports, flying to and fro the Philippines is not fun , at all. 

The DOTC must do something. Cebu Pacific must also do something. Otherwise, there will always be fights and incidents happening in our airports.

Mr. Roxas, Mr. Roxas, what is happening?

Mon Tulfo and Raymart Santiago etal brawl at the airport: Who's right and who's wrong?

Is it right for Raymart Santiago's group to confiscate the video camera of journalist Mon Tulfo? Is it right for Mon Tulfo to take some shots of Claudine Barretto while she was berating a Cebu Pacific stewardess?

Watching the video and listening to both sides, I believe that it is not right for Raymart Santiago's group to confiscate the video camera of Mon Tulfo. 

For one, Tulfo did nothing wrong in taking those shots of Claudine. At that time, Tulfo was doing his work as a journalist. He saw a story developing at that time. It was instinctual for Tulfo to get his camera and take those shots. 

Tulfo admitted taking at least two shots of Barretto berating the Cebu Pacific stewardess. The story that Tulfo probably would have written was a story of Barretto using her "celebrity" status to gain something.

Barretto's action was understandable, since she lost two luggages which the nincoompoops at Cebu Pacific placed in another airplane. 

What perked the interest of Tulfo to get those shots were Barretto's condescending tone against the hapless stewardess. The lady was not the one who placed those luggages in the wrong plane. Yet, she was berated.

As a celebrity, Barretto should realize or probably, she knows this already, that you are always fair game. A public figure always run the risks of scrutiny. Even Hollywood stars get stalked by paparazzi. 

In this case, crime journalist Tulfo was the paparazzi, Barretto, the subject.

Unlike the true paparazzis however, Tulfo was not stalking nor insisting on taking those shots of Barretto. According to Tulfo, he took those shots surreptitiously. Sadly for him, Raymart, the ever protecting husband, saw what happened and the rest is hospital history for the bruised and beaten Tulfo.

Some would probably laugh with what happened to Mon since many got a beating from him thru his highly popular column. I, myself, got a sprinkling of Mon's bile several years ago. 

In this case, however, kudos to Mon for standing up against such celebrity swellheads such as the Santiagos.
